Eager Audience Sees 'Romeo and At Ashland An eager audience nearly filled the Elizabethan theater at Ashland Friday night at the third Shakespearean Festival production of the season, ''Ro meo and Juliet." The production, one of the world's most beloved dramas of romance and tragedy, held the blanket-wrapped audience nearly spellbound throughout the cold, starlit evening. Ted van Griethuysen of Hous ton, Tex., and Rosalyn Newport, Carnegie Tech student, both looked and acted their parts as Romeo and Juliet with a strik ing degree of perfection. Both lead characters have had con siderable theater experience, which combined with obvious talent, makes them perfect se lections for the roles. committee.iCom,nd"r JolL, , v iuenur Alien x leicner, wno also appeared as Montague, did a commendable job in casting Romeo and Juliet as well as the others in the tragedy. One of the best received char acters in last night's performance was Alfce Lauterer in the part of Juliet's nurse. Miss Lauterer, a newcomer to the festival and former teacher and director of Festival Plays Tonight: Monday: 'Richard III" "Love's Labour's Lost" Tuesday: "Romeo and Juliet' Wednesday: "Cymbeline" Curtain lime 8:30 p.m. Eagle Creek Man Crushed to Death Milwaukie, Ore.

It seems doubtful that even Shakespeare ' would have thought the part could conT tain such sparkle and polish. The role of another beloved character, quick-witted Mercutio, was carried out in admirable style by David O'Brien. A Stan ford university student from Glencoe,- 111.,-O'Brien accented humor and personality Shake speare' wrote into the part. Mer cutio's untimely death from the rapier of . Tybalt seemed to arouse more- than the usual amount of audiepce sympathy because of O'Brien's winning performance. Sterling Performance Friar Laurence (B. I d e n Payne) also gave a sterling per formance as did Montague (Al len Fletcher) his lady (Doris Viola), Capulet (James Parker), his lady (Irene G. Baird). Paris (Michael F. Kasdan), Tybalt (Wil liam Oyler) and Capulet's three servants. Sampson. Gregory and Peter (Steve Pavlisin, Richard Cavette and Philip Jacobus). James Grant Kahlo, appearing as the elderly cousin of Capulet, did a fine job in an important lesser part. He supplied essen tial atmosphere by his presence, but did not overplay the part to the detraction of other major characters. Also deserving "pats on the back" were other members of the cast, Escalus (Richard Graham), Benvolio (Eberle Thpmas), Bal thasar (Jack J. Swanson), Abra ham and Friar John (Hugh Wil son), Apothecary (Brad Curtis), the two pages (Michael Cotton and Rudolf E. Vest Jr.), musi cians (Art Silva, Vest, Jerry Hol loway and Lee Haring), guards and watchmen (Curtis, Haring and Holloway) and citizens and maskers (Joan Kugell, Nancy Pickhardt, Ann Brennen. Susan L. Shively, Silva and Wilson). Costuming, Props Make-up. costuming and props were excellent. Only two factors seemed to detract from the pro duction. The most serious ele ment of detraction was the re grettable amount of noise, both from moving props and back stage voices, immediately prior to the last scene. Also, at a few brief intervals the audience had some difficulty in hearing two or three of the players. Last night the festival group presented "Cymbeline" and to night will present the second performance of "Richard III." Curtain time is 8:30 p.m. Unless night temperature takes a sud den climb, it is . recommended that theater-goers bring along blankets or warm wraps to ward off the night chill. R.J.B.
